Propped up lamp string wound with rolled up tapes

Abstract

A propped up lamp string wound with rolled up tapes includes a flexible prop, a string of Christmas lights having a plurality of the electric wires parallel depended on the prop and a plurality of sockets with lamp thereon respectively inserted into a plurality of clamp members which has an upper part and a lower part obliquely clipped on the prop at predetermined intervals and rolled up a tape in a pencil like shape wound on the prop and the electric wire of the string of Christmas light and heated to integrate with the electric wires and the prop. Thereby the propped up lamp string can be bent into different shapes of patterns or gathered into a pot of a post to make a garden lamp.

I claim:  
     
       1. A propped up lamp string wound with rolled up tapes comprising: 
       a plurality of clamp members obliquely clipped on a prop at predetermined intervals for respectively inserting a plurality of sockets from a string of Christmas lights which has electric wires parallel depended on the prop and wound by a rolled up tape, said clamp members each having an upper part including a tubular body, an opening in top to receive the socket, a pair of slender slits symmetrically formed in opposing peripheries of the body for passing through the electric wires of the string of Christmas lights, a pair of inlaid pieces of crescent section symmetrically formed and extended outward from bottom of the body each having a hooked end on inner surface and an arcuate depressing in distal portion thereof, a hoop around an outer periphery of the body above the inlaid pieces and a first slot slopedly extending across center of the body engageable with the prop; a lower part including a pair of gaped arcuate plates symmetrically formed on lower portion and separated by an I-shaped partition so as to define a pair of crescent spaces for receiving the inlaid pieces of the upper part, a pair of triangular stop plates symmetrically formed on lateral sides of the partition to check the hooked ends of the upper part, a bevel plate extend upward from the partition and a second slot centrally formed in sloped portion of the bevel plate engageable with the prop and the first slot of the upper part.  
     
     
       2. The propped up lamp string as recited in  claim 1  wherein said prop is made of flexible material such as pliable metal and/or plastic. 
     
     
       3. The propped up lamp string as recited in  claim 1  wherein said rolled up tape is shaped into a pencil like roller and heated to integrate with said prop and said electric wires. 
     
     
       4. The propped up lamp string as recited in  claim 1  wherein said propped up lamp string may be bent to make different shapes of patterns.
